The brown walls and beige scrim that have surrounded Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar and Tangaroa Terrace at the Disneyland Hotel since September are finally gone following extensive refurbishment work.

Trader Sam’s and Tangaroa Terrace Exterior Refurbishment

Exterior refurbishment work began on the outdoor seating areas around Tangaroa Terrace and Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar in early September. While both venues remained open for business, the expansive patio was enclosed by claustrophobic brown construction walls. When we asked at the time, Cast Members who were visibly hard at work throughout the area said they were “working on the [Tiki] torches” that surround the entire seating area.

The work was extensive enough that the patio staircase was closed and additional restaurant seating was added next to the exterior fireplace (which previously was an open lounging area).

The patio seating is back in its original configuration.

A Cast Member confirmed to us that the refurbishment was indeed for the Tiki torches, explaining, “The building is on the main gas line for the hotel, so it was long, tedious work that took two months.”
